Running Accomplishments:

Pre-highschool: I loved to run and ran a few small local 5k's, but I did not run much on my own, besides junior high track.

Freshman year: I ran cross country and traied wih the team most of the summer.  When the season started I ran 3 races including Murray Invitational.  I got a huge PR there but after the race my foot hurt and I had a hard time walking. I ran on it for the next week but it was not getting better, so I went to a Sports MD and found out that i had a stress fracture.  Becaue of that injury I missed the rest of the season. Then I ran track for my junior high but did not do extremely well.

Sophmore year: I trained hard over the summer and I got a 3 minute PR on my first race.  I continued to PR, and had a good, injury free season. I ran indoor track an had some good PRs. I ran at simplot and had a great time. I did track and  ran some goodtimes and cut my time down by 15 seconds, I was hoping that I could get low 5's in the mile, but I had fun and was able to race at the steepechase and have a fun time through out the season. At sophmore region I was able to PR in the 800 and I missed my PR in the mile by 2 seconds.

Junior year: I ran a little over 500 miles over the summer, but wasn't improving how I would have liked over the season. I was not consistant at all and was sick for aboout 3 races. I finally had a good race at region and dropped a 46 second pr. Track went well, I went sub-5 in the mile finally and got a PR in the 2 mile pretty easily. I didn't really hit the times I had hoped for throughout the season due to sickness and I just wasn't in it.

PRs:

800: 2:11

1600: 4:56.35

3200: 11:17.47

3 mile: 17:41

5k: 18:07

Short-Term Running Goals:

Cross Country 2016:

Run 650 to 700 summer miles SUCCESS

Low 15's on the 5K and Sub 15 3 mile

Place at region and state

Go to footlocker nationals

Track 2017:

Sub 4:20 mile

Sub 9:15 on the 3200

Sub 2:00 on the 800

Sub 6:25 on steeple chase

Qualify for State, Arcadia, and Great South West, and become the best runner I can be.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run cross country and track in college. Keep improving and just having fun. I'll probably run an ultra or two for the heck of it and to see if I like them.

Personal:

I'm a Senior at Weber High School. I am LDS and plan on serving a mission before college. I'm a member of The Hobbyjogger Project.

Did 4 miles this morning up the Ben Lomond switchbacks, I felt really good ran part with Jake and Addison. On my way down I rolled my ankle on a rock, because of that I lost my balance and ran into a tree and the side of the mountian... because of that, my foot slipped off the side of the trail. It was awesome, some how I stayed on my feet and did not end up dead in the middle of the trail! Later tonight I did 4 more miles on Canal road and ran up the one awful hill 4 times in the middle of it. My average pace was just below 7 minutes.

Wanted to do a tempo run this morning, so I did a mile warmup. I didn't hit my first mile at all, I wasn't even close haha, but my second mile was above pace and I did a little more than another 1/2 mile at tempo after that. Then I just did a 1/2 mile cool-down.  Later tonight I did an easy 4 with Jake, his knee was bugging him though, so I did 2 laps around the park barefoot to get to 4 miles.

We went to Park City today, so I went an easy 4.5 this morning before we left. I ended up buying 2 new pairs of shoes while I was there, so i did another 3.75 tonight on a treadmill to try them out. It was in miles per hour so i did not really know how fast I was going until I finished, but I started at 8.2 MPH and added 0.1 MPH each quarter mile and 0.2 every half mile and mile. So when I finished I ended up running around 6 minute pace.

Did 5 this morning on the trails  above Weber State with Addison and the rest of the team.  Me, Addi and Gavin got lost for a minute but we found our way back.  Than Addi lead me on some awesome trails. On the way back down I tripped as I was trying to let some Bonneville XC girls pass and hit my knee on the rock. I ended up spralled out in the middle of the trail with a couple girls standing around me.  It was quite embarassing.  I ran just after got home from XC to my brothers soccer practice and that was 1/2 mile.  Later tonight I ran 3 more. I felt really good and ended up averaging 6:45 wth my fastest mile being a 6:15! I ran into Kyler half was through and was able to talk to him for a few minutes. He can finally run again so thats great!

Did 4 this morning on the canal road, averaged around 7 minute miles. Ran up to the track and did what Ben suggested and did some 30 second sprints to increase turnover, so my run this morning ended up being 5. Later this afternoon I did 3.5.
